I got a question:


I love world music (I am easily bored and like the variety).

Much of this music is influenced by other religious traditions: Sheila Chandra (Hindu), traditional Hindu ragas, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (Pakistani Qawwali singer),some Buddhist chants.

No words are understandable, the beat is good and they are great for studying or running. They are uniquely fascinating.



I have heard some say that spiritual power can even inhabit music and that listening to Hindu ragas is dangerous even though I don't understand the words and no one around me does either.


Is this music appreciation or dabbling with the enemy? Why? How do I respond to those that have given me a disapproving glare?
